BTW I traded down to 20 just for fun, I don't actually want the 49ers to trade back any farther than 16th.

Larry English or reach for Clay Matthews, I guess?

As for this Warner to SF nonsense, I am sure that is something the Niners are using to push Smith's negotiations or something Warner's representation is using to push their negotiations with the Cards.

Well I did go with a pass rusher but it wasn't English. I went with Michael Johnson. I didn't like him before this past college season either but he really stepped it up in his senior season and his potential is just too much to pass up at 20.

He's the one that is slipping because everyone thinks he's not motivated. He's like 7 in Scott's rankings for DEs.

Hill has already proven himself and deserves to be the starter. Warner isnt going to do anything for us. We dont have the receiving core that he has in ARZ plus he plays in a dome. Signing Warner would be a WASTE of money and cap room.

On a side note - who the hell is WR Brandon Jones and is he an upgrade over Bryant Johnson?????

Looks like Bryant Johnson signed with the lowly Lions. Jones will be his replacement and is entering the prime of his career. A low risk, good depth pick. I think he plays better than his stats indicate as well. He's quick and has decent size.

Warner is a no-brainer to start over Hill in virtually every offense, other than a Wildcat scheme, where the QB would have to be mobile. I don't think the Niners will land Warner, but driving up the price on the Cards (and chewing up close to half their cap room) is a great move. :)

Yes very they also lost Antonio Smith today to the Texans things are looking good :)

Brandon Jones fits the mold of exactly what Coach Sing is looking for. He has deep-threat speed, he is consistent and physical as a possession/move-the-chains guy, and he loves to run block. As far as I can tell, the reason Bryant Johnson was no longer in the plans is because he only filled one of those three criteria.

The simple fact that Jones (coming off the bench) led all Titans WRs in receptions is a good thing. In fact his 41 were only behind Scaife (58) and Chris Johnson (43). At least IMO 41 catches as a 3rd WR in the extremely run-heavy offense of the Titans is more intriguing than Bryant Johnson's 45 as a #2 WR in a Martz-led passing attack.
